    Subjectcommit a802dd0e breaks console keyboard input
    Hi team,

    commit a802dd0eb5fc97a50cf1abb1f788a8f6cc5db635
    Author: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
    Date: Mon Oct 13 23:50:08 2008 +0200

    Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls.

    This commit causes the console login prompt to ignore my keystrokes
    so I'm unable to log in (though ssh works fine). Oddly, if I hit
    ctrl-alt-delete the machine does reboot, but no other keystrokes
    appear on the screen or have any effect that I can detect.

    No surprise that this problem appears only on my dual-core amd64
    machine, while the k7 single processor machine works normally.

    I've not seen anyone else complaining on the linux list, so maybe
    this is a BIOS bug on the affected machine? It's an ECS mobo with
    a GeForce6100PM-M2 chipset, and I use a ps/2 keyboard.

    Thanks.
